The Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen builds on the original premise of the Autobots protection of the humans against the Decepticons. Sam has grown into a college student and has grown in his relationship with Michaela. Add in some new and interesting characters like Leo, Sam's college roommate and alien robot conspiracy nut, Alice, a hot co-ed who turns out to be more, and a couple of new twin Autobots that add additional spice. The sound, especially in IMAX, is absolutely incredible - the best I've ever heard. My one complaint, which is the same as the original film, is that it is difficult to tell during the fight scenes which are the Autobots and the Decepticons.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Epic Moviemaking at its Best

The Dark Knight is an excellent example of taking the cinematic medium and stretching it to its limits. Andre Bazin, a French film critic, wrote in 1957, "The American cinema is a classical art, so why not then admire in it what is most admirable, not only the talent of [a single filmaker], but the genius of the system." He was referring to all the aspects (social, technological, economic, asthetic) work in balance to create something very unique. The filmakers involved with The Dark Knight understand that balance, that whole equation that makes the American film a work of art. All involved from writer-director Nolan, actors Bale, Caine, Ledger, Eckhart, Freeman and Oldham, to the cinematographers, art directors, editors, costumers and make-up artists have created a classic example of the classical art called American cinema. Note should also be made to the complete' of the art and that is its sound from sound effects to mixing to the haunting Zimmer score. All aspects work together to form a complete film that is both intriguing and exciting.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
